As a result, she offers reassuring handling and excellent seakeeping in a wide range of conditions. Previously owned by a professional yacht surveyor, this Hallberg-Rassy Kutter 94 has benefited from consistent and knowledgeable care throughout her life.

The pilothouse-protected cockpit, combined with additional handrails, safe cockpit access, and well-placed grab points, makes movement around the yacht straightforward and safe. This setup works well for sailors of all ages and experience levels. She is well equipped with a strong list of practical upgrades and modern systems. These include in-mast reefing, AIS, a bow thruster, electric windlass, liferaft, serviced sails with renewed sacrificial strips and leech lines, and a tricolour masthead light. Importantly, her decks have been professionally serviced, with all work supported by invoices. From new, this Hallberg-Rassy Kutter 94 was specified directly from the yard with several thoughtful additions.
